Lol funny that you tagged me and banchan
@loyalyolayal . I’ve had dog meat more than once. Usually my grandmother would get some from a market and cook up a stew for me. Maybe once every few months. She also had a pet dog who she loved to death but she would still eat dog meat. I guess its no different from people who have pet fish and still eat fish. One thing people should know about eating dog in Korea is that it’s not all that common nowadays. Its harder to find restaurants that serve it and many younger people have never eaten it. I know people my age who think I’m weird for having had it.
I love dogs and have a dog, but the fact that the meat is coming from a dog makes no difference. It’s an animal, and it’s dead. My main qualms with dog (and cat) meat (in Korea anyway) is how they are treated. They are usually raised in horrible conditions with no oversight or regulation, but I guess it’s no different from how cows, pigs, and chickens are raised in factory farms in the US.
I hear old people eatcat but not the same extent. I haven’t had it though.
